Acute hypobaric hypoxia induces coordinated DNA methylation alterations and immune cell redistribution in lowlanders
Background: Acute hypobaric hypoxia rapidly affects oxygen transport, endocrine regulation, and immune function. However, how short-term hypoxic stress links immune cell redistribution with changes in blood DNA methylation remains unclear. Objectives: We aimed to characterize coordinated immune and DNA methylation responses to acute hypobaric hypoxia in lowlanders and to distinguish methylation changes caused by altered blood cell composition fro…
Effects of bathing-induced changes in body temperature on sleep
Background Passive body heating before sleep is well known to lead to improved sleep. However, the effects of the degree of change in body temperature by bathing on sleep quality are unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the effects on sleep of bathing-induced changes in body temperature. Methods Twenty-three healthy males and females in their 20 s to 50 s bathed in their homes 1.5-2 h before bedtime under three bathing conditions: showerin…
Upregulation of cathepsin L gene under mild cold conditions in young Japanese male adults
BackgroundPhysiological thermoregulatory systems in humans have been a key factor for adaptation to local environments after their exodus from Africa, particularly, to cold environments outside Africa. Recent studies using high-throughput sequencing have identified various genes responsible for cold adaptation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying initial thermoregulation in response to acute cold exposure remain unclear. Therefore, we in…
Involvement of Basal Metabolic Rate in Determination of Type of Cold Tolerance
This study aimed to assess the relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and metabolic heat production, and to clarify the involvement of BMR in determining the phenotype of cold tolerance. Measurements of BMR, maximum oxygen uptake, and cold exposure test were conducted on ten males. In the cold exposure test, rectal (T(rec)) and mean skin temperatures (T(ms)), oxygen uptake, and blood flow at forearm (BF(arm)) were measured during exposur…
Physiological Anthropology Design: A Comparative Study between Germany and Japan
With the recent globalization of industrial products, there is doubt as to whether the methodology of Physiological Anthropology has also been standardized. The purpose of this study is to assess signs of standardization through a comparative analysis of Physiological Anthropology design in Germany and Japan. This survey investigates its characteristics through four factors: comfort, usability, sensation and aesthetics. Both nations regard the fi…
